SHEBOYGAN -- The Mead Public Library in downtown Sheboygan has a new logo to show how much it has grown in the 30 years since its last logo was unveiled.

"As you can imagine in the last 30 years the library has changed a great deal. So that logo just doesn't reflect where the library is at today, it reflects where the library was at 30 years ago," said Josh Lintereur, Mead's communications specialist.

The new logo shows how the library has grown from just a space to house books to a place where people meet, discuss and grow.

"The logo we came up with is a very inclusive logo that really reflects all the different things you can find at the library. All the different emotions that people might feel about the library," said Lintereur.

The old logo featured an open-faced book with three pages flying away. The new, more modernized logo features dozens of small photos depicting what can be found at the library. A dinosaur, computers, music notes, food, pyramids, a rocket, machine gears, a robot and a brain are just a small fraction of the objects. All the little pictures form a giant "M."

Lintereur said that last year the library had over 1,200 events held there.

"Our mission hasn't changed at the library. We still provide life long learning, access to knowledge, but the ways in which we do that have become so much more diverse," he said. "Books are still a really big part of what we do, but we're more dynamic than just books. We offer digital streaming, music and movie streaming. We have a maker's space here. We have a café. We have classes and workshops. We have talks."

The new logo is out and the library will be slowly replacing the old logo on pamphlets, the websites and posters in the coming months.
